Baldur’s Gate 3 (BG3) is perhaps the most LGBTQ-friendly AAA video game ever made. It’s also one of the best role-playing games ever, according to Metacritic, the premier website owned by Fandom that aggregates reviews of films, television shows, music albums and video games.
Baldur’s Gate 3 by Ghent, Belgium-based Larian Studios, is a series of role-playing video games set in the Forgotten Realms Dungeons & Dragons campaign setting.
The game has spawned two series, known as the Bhaalspawn Saga and the Dark Alliance. Baldur’s Gate 3 was released on Aug. 3, 2023 to widespread critical acclaim.
Unusually for a AAA game, it had spent six years in development, and almost three years of that in early access open beta testing.
